Starting Android app development requires a definite product objective and awareness of device diversity. By outlining the MVP, choosing an architecture, and mapping essential user journeys early, the initial release stays focused and minimizes rework as the app expands.

Once the foundation is set, focus moves to UI consistency, performance, and compatibility across OS versions and screen dimensions. Robust state management, careful networking, and dependable analytics/crash reporting simplify maintenance and iteration after launching on Google Play.
